Writing decimals as fractions review

To convert a decimal to a fraction, we write the decimal number as a numerator and we write its place value as the denominator.

If there is a number to the left of the decimal point, we keep that number as a whole number.

$0.0\blueD7$ is $\blueD7$ $\text{\greenD{hundredths}}$. So, we write $\blueD7$ over $\greenD{100}$.

$\redC2.\blueD1$ is $\redC2$ and $\blueD1$ $\text{\greenD{tenth}}$. $\redC2$ stays a whole number. Then we write $\blueD1$ over $\greenD{10}$.
